The answer from the people : "We now have freedom fries"....
It is sad to see how people reacted to a legitimate political debate from the french by name calling, and so to this date.
No other countries had a stronger bond other than France and the US during the 19th century. Both countries have streets, main avenues and cities named after each other. Yet all you hear is about how german the french would be if it wasn't for the US (like any of us can realistically take credit for WWII...really...); This completely disreguarding the rest of the allies (including the french resistance). Really sad to see so many personal attacks. And, for once I take the defense of the french simply because at least, over there they have a problem with the guy running the show and his cronies in DC...not the american people (though if we carry-on bashing like that....). Here we disagree by telling rifle jokes and making cartoons figuring frogs....showing the rest of the world how much of a point we have.....
